Nissan’s mysterious live PR event today for a “high performance LEAF”

Nissan’s Japanese language twitter account, but none of their other regional twitter accounts, posted a link for a live YouTube stream set for this afternoon to carry a press conference about a “high performance” model of the LEAF.

The time is apparently set for 5pm Pacific, although clicking the link to the video indicates the stream could start a bit earlier. The text running along the top of the YouTube window says “【中継】＃日産リーフハイパフォーマンスモデル発表記者会見

“.

According to an English Google translatation, that means “[Relay] # Nissan Leaf High Performance Model Presentation Press Conference”.
